Re: LDAP and the future of NetInfo

Hi Andre,

We support about 2000 Arts & Animation students/faculty using macosx clients at our institution.

The account information for these users are stored in LDAP: Netscape Directory Server 4.1 running on Solaris 8, which the clients use for authentication and directory services.

Cheers,
Ryan
